10 Perks Of Going Home For Spring Break

Spring Break is a time every college students looks forward too. After a long cold winter, everyone is excited to lay out on the beach somewhere and soak up some sun cause let's face it, we all need a tan at this point. While most spend their spring break on the beaches of Cancun, Miami, Panama City Beach, etc., what about deciding to go home for Spring Break? I know it doesn't so glamorous but it has its perks.Here are some of the great reason's for going home for Spring Break.

1. You get to catch up on much-needed sleep.


After completing half of a semester and some midterms, sleep is the number one thing we all need. Being home allows you to sleep how much you want in your own bed.

2. Home-cooked meals

Dining Hall food is decent but not the best thing ever. So some home cooked food by your mom is more than enough of a reason to come home.

3. Seeing your pets

They miss you, you miss them, now you can come home and show them some love.

4. You don't need to get dressed up all the time.

If you go somewhere for spring break, you have to dress up and go out and actually see people every day. At home, you can just chill out and relax in pajamas all day.

5. More time to work on that summer body

You have a solid six more weeks to work out and look amazing for summer instead of having to show it off now. Plus, you can work out this week instead of just laying on the beach and eating out.

6. Spending time with family

Your family only gets to see you a few times a year so when you go home for Spring Break you get to spend some more quality time with them. They love you more than anything in the world so appreciate the time you get with them.

7. Catching up on homework

Tests and midterms start back as soon as you get back to school so it is great to be able to be productive and get a head start on some studying. You will thank yourself later.

8. Tons of Netflix

You finally have the time to just relax and watch a new series. What more could you ask for?

9. Saving money


Spring Break trips are super expensive so you will save a lot of money that you could spend on better things later on.

10. Catching up with old friends

Chances are some of your old high school friends will be home while you are so you get to hang out and have some fun with them.

AI music threatens creativity

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
